go build one of this quality and add up your reciepts....cleanest jeep on here hands down worth the cash. we just sold our 2001 wrangler on 36's very nice and clean like this one and got 14k out of it. his price is right on. hopefully it goes to a good home.

I agree that it's sexy, nicest one I've seen yet. Perhaps I have little faith in the resale value of a cherokee. Wranglers always hold their value, my 93 was almost stock and I sold it in 06 for 9000, so your TJ doesn't surprise me, just never thought an XJ could be worth so much. And I hate to say it, but upgrades are a difficult thing to add to the value of the vehicle, especially if those upgrades are put on for offroad use. I have a ton of money in mine, but I'm not confident I could get back what I have invested, pretty sure I never could.

Dont remind me! Haha. I am selling it because i am looking to invest into a house and this Jeep could be a big help towards that goal! It will be a sad day when it sells but its a small price to pay for the greater good.

Yes really, i have since dropped the price because i want to make a quicker sale as im looking to get prequalified for my home loan within the next couple of weeks. There is a lot of money put into this Jeep 90% of which was purchased no more then 6 months ago. There are no cut fenders, no rust, no mud stains, no damage, all things you will find on 95% of jeeps.

Thanks! Far too many people compare my jeep to jeeps that go for $6000-$8000 but dont realize all those jeeps come with hacked up fenders, gross interiors, mud caked to the underside, among many other things. Your wrangler sounds awesome!

I respect your opinion and you are right i dont expect to get all my money back out. Even at $13,500 i am not getting close to my money out of it. If my Jeep had these parts on it for 10, 20, or 30 thousands miles like most other jeeps, then yeah sure i would be asking around $6000 to $8000. But the fact that all these upgrades are pretty much brand spankin new and have 0 miles on them is why i am asking more. The money is there and this Jeep is worth every dime and penny.

Well guys.......its official.......the Jeep is gone ......its a sad day

She isnt gone quite yet, but the check arrived and has been deposited so its official, she is no longer mine. I am sad to see her go but i know its for the greater good. Once i get into my house and can save up a few grand ill probably invest in a older cherokee that i can actually wheel and use. Wont be as pretty as these two but at least i can get it muddy without feeling guilty or worry about breaking something!

Look forward to being back in the Jeep community in the future and will miss you guys until then! Best of luck to everyone!

Will

Did you end up fixing this issue? I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking a pitman drop arm can fix it.

Just wondering because I hate tires with the white text on them I want them to be all black.
Also where there any spacers on your red Jeep when you had the RE 3.5 inch lift?
most tires come with white on one side and black on the other just make sure you specify when having them installed no spacers just a 3.75 backspace

- Should i get Bushwacker cut outs or Bushwacker flat flares?

- Should i keep them black or paint them silver?

LET ME KNOW!
flat flares color matched would look bad***
